The undertaker’s gone under

Looks like Tim Cockey, author of the Hitchcock Sewell series starring a handsome Baltimore-based undertaker, is switching gears in a major way, at least if PM is to be believed:

Tim Cockey, writing as Richard Hawke’s two new thrillers featuring a young private detective in New York whom the high and mighty call on when they need decisiveness and discretion, starting with SPEAK OF THE DEVIL, in which he must protect the mayor’s girlfriend after someone tries to kill her, but he’s soon involved in a much larger and even more dangerous case, to Mark Tavani for Random House, by Inkwell Management (world).

New name, new premise, new feel–definitely a change in direction.
